Dear Baller Alert,

My man took a bribe, and I don’t know what to do. Last week I overheard my husband talking to somebody, taking a bribe to let someone’s son start on the basketball game. Now, high school basketball season is well over, and I approached him about the conversation that I had heard because I did not like that. He assured me that it was not a big deal and not to ever worry about it.The God-fearing person that I am, I can’t stop thinking about it. I want to say something, but I do not know what to do. Should I do more digging, or do I leave this alone?

Ray Daniels shared that she needs to grow up. As long as he spends the money on her and not another broad.

“I’m a little concerned,” said Ferrari. “It looks like you want to snitch and leave your man. If that’s what you want to do, do it,” said Ferrari.
